There nothing wrong to going to a movie by yourself I do it all the time, granted I wouldn’t choose Delgo as such movie.

I get your math now. Props to your assessment. Your madness is spot on! LOL

…

There isn’t anything wrong with the math dude. I never said it was less than 2 people per theater… I said it was less than 2 people per screening.

Each theater played the movie around 9-11 times over the weekend.

Perhaps this wouldn’t have been such a colossal bomb if they had spent some dollars advertising the hell out of this movie. There have probably been worse movies that have done better at the box office.

But John, I have a quirk with your math. You stated that the money made translates into 2 people per movie theatre for the take, but your math is off, unless someone is paying $115.74 for a single ticket. $500 000/2160 theatres = $231.48 per theatre. At $13 a ticket, that would mean 18 people showed up per theatre (rounded up. I hate counting parts of people! LOL). Pretty shitty indeed.

My question is…who are these people going to see this movie ALONE. One ticket sold on friday….really? What sad individual went to see this alone. Isn’t this a kids movie?

I only saw a preview for it once. It was on some talk show for some reason. I was just flipping channels and saw it. First thing that came to mind was the art direction looked awful.

The film, I understand, went through many writers, and most studios wouldn’t go near it (might there be a reason?) for distribution. Yes, it’s a downer that the film bombed this badly. Hopefully it’ll make some change on DVD. Hopefully those behind the film production will pick themselves up by the bootstraps and try again with either a better project or co-produce a slew of indie low budget live action films.

“what!?”

No, I’m serious. I never heard of this film before, it is the first time I heard about how the pic was made. But they had a drive. I’ll give ’em that. If I were them and this event stared me in the face, and I still wanted to make movies? I’d regroup, rethink and invest in smaller pictures, don’t open them big…and stay as producer only.

See, Slushie? ot every commenter on the site bashes things for the sake of bashing. Some of us are positive thinkers and do admire the guts of those willing to do this risk, even if the end product and result was less than favorable. But that also doesn’t mean we should kiss anyone’s rear end either!
